"Israeli Intransigence"

"Today, 78 per cent of what in 1917-48 was Palestine under ‘mandate’ is under Israel’s control, and Israel has no intention of quitting the remaining 22 per cent." link

Am I the only one here who sees a problem with this statement?

In context it means, quitting the claim over the rest of it?

Lets face it, they control all of it. Whenever there is a bombing in Israel, they sit on Palestinian territories for a while then vacate then come back. It's their daddy's backyard!

This is my thread! Don't give the Pakistanis any hints - let them find the answer for themselves!

even carefully drafted bills are ineffective unless passed into law.

The statement appears to ignore the part of the Mandate that became Jordan. Even after this "error" the statement does not make sense ipso facto.

Muslims did not lead any crusade and certainly did not rob the Jews of their property or their land.
Your statement is inaccurate.

At the advent of Islam, the Land of Palestine was part of the Roman empire (no friend of the Jews who persecuted them most violently) and when the Muslims and the Roman empire went to war, Jerusalem was eventually abandoned by the Roman garrison and there was a peaceful takeover of the city without any persecution (like the ones in Crusades) whatsoever.
Jews were allowed back into the city as part of this takeover and Christian places of worship were also granted due security by the Caliph.
The Caliph was invited to offer his prayers in the Church by the Christian Patriarch Sophronius, however this offer was declined by the Caliph who feared that this may give reason for Muslims to build a mosque in this place in coming generations. He therefore offered his prayers outside the church.
Such was the takeover which was very different to what Romans did to Jews and what the Persians did to the Christians when the Sassanid empire briefly captured Jerusalem before Islam.

The crusaders were bred on anti Muslim propaganda and despite the holy places being intact there was deliberate propaganda to paint a totally opposite picture to the common Christians that their holy sites were being desecrated by Muslims.
The bloody manner in which the Crusaders captured Jerusalem and the merciful manner in which Salahuddin retook Jerusalem are in stark contrast to each other despite the fact that Salahuddin had a reason to be vengeful, his nobility is what in fact heralds him as one of the most Just and honorable Kings the world has ever known.

Up till the 20th century there was no issue between the Muslims and the Jews as people, they coexisted and cooperated very well.
